KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (CP) — Two Canadian soldiers were injured when their vehicle ran over a landmine near Maywand, Afghanistan.
The soldiers were evacuated to the base hospital at the NATO base in Kandahar.
Lt. Chris Courtemanche said the soldiers, from the National Support Element, have been treated for non-life threatening injuries and their families have been notified.
Courtemanche said the soldiers were in a supply convoy, but wouldn’t say what kind of vehicle they were in.
The damaged vehicle was towed back to the base in Kandahar.
Canadian troops in Afghanistan have been reporting an increased number of mines and roadside bombs.
